Note: The forms migo, tigo,
sigo, nosco, vosco inherit the
classical Latin forms
mecum, tecum, secum, nobiscum,
vobiscum, which are obtained by suffixing the preposition cum
(Port. com) with at the pronouns.
The forms comigo, contigo, consigo, connosco,
convosco are derived by prefixing the preposition com at
the pronouns. The same phenomenon is observed in Spanish.
Possessive
Pronouns (Pronomes Possessivos)
In Portuguese the Possessive Pronouns are identical in form with the Possessive Adjectives. They are used absolutely, in substitution to persons or things, preceded by a definite article, cf.:
A minha casa é grande, mas a tua é pequena.Demonstrative Pronouns (Pronomes Demonstrativos)
My house is large, but yours is small.
